With a global drive towards net zero and wider use of sustainable energy, the UK is currently falling behind other nations. Whilst progress has been made in some areas, more needs to be done to meet the UK Government’s target of achieving net zero by 2050. Electrification, the movement to use sustainable energy sources to replace fossil fuels, has been identified as a key contributor to decarbonising industry and reducing the impact of climate change. As a result, there is huge industrial demand for high- performance power electronics, machines and drives (PEMD). These technologies are key to lower emissions and improved energy efficiency, resulting in lower energy costs in comparison to the use of fossil fuels.
Electrification presents exciting new opportunities for UK manufacturing on a grand scale. Businesses can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by introducing new technologies, leading to improved efficiency and productivity, resulting in significant economic, environmental and societal benefits. The MTC has a full suite of capabilities, from supply chain mapping to product and process development, leading to the development of fully integrated production systems. These capabilities make use of the state-of-the-art technologies that have been at the MTC’s core for over 10 years.
